Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) in Learning

Bybookmothlimited@gmail.com

Virtual reality simulations allow students to experience hands-on learning—whether exploring the human body in 3D or walking through historical sites virtually.

AR and VR provide immersive learning experiences, making abstract concepts tangible and engaging.

Examples in Action:

  • Google Expeditions (now integrated into Google Arts & Culture): Allows students to take virtual field trips to historical sites and space explorations.
  • Labster: A virtual lab simulation platform for science students.
  • zSpace: Provides AR-based interactive 3D models for medical and engineering training.

Impact:

  • Enhances engagement by making learning more interactive.
  • Provides hands-on experiences without the need for physical resources.
  • Improves conceptual understanding through visualization.
